WEST MICHIGAN — From Fox 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Kara James: Cold, snowy and breezy days continue this week in West Michigan. Snow showers return overnight with the next clipper system, and a WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY has been issued for the lakeshore, Newaygo, Kent, Barry, Kalamazoo, Cass and St. Joseph counties from midnight to 7 p.m. Tuesday. Snow totals will be 2-4" with isolated higher amounts. Gusty winds will lead to blowing snow and reduced visibility, continuing the poor driving conditions. With strong winds and cold temperatures overnight a COLD WEATHER ADVISORY is in effect through 10 a.m. Wind chills will be well below zero; as cold as -15 to -20 in some locations. The overall pattern remains much colder than average all week; with lows remaining in the single digits, highs mainly in the teens, and occasional snow showers each day. The pattern shifts a little bit starting this weekend, with lower snow chances, highs in the 20s and a peek of sun or two possible.
